Fuck. A beginning influence on my drumming. Thanks for the music Rob Hirst www.news.com.au/entertainmen...

the responsibility really sits with the driver. and why dont we see videos from the drivers perspective of playing on their phone only to look up (or even not) and find they have murdered someone? THIS is the "shared intersection safety" campaign I want to see

After the World Trade Center was attacked (just four miles from Trump Tower), more than 40,000 Canadians in uniform fought alongside their U.S. allies in Afghanistan. More than 2,000 Canadians were wounded. These 158 didn't make it home. And now this guy is giving lectures on gratitude.

There is a difference between accepting reality as it is and buying into an autocrat’s framing of reality

More Felon47 AI images... just feeding the monster you claim to hate. Some people only fight so hard, for so long, and then they give in, Adding to the burning future they claim to fight against.

I hear Frank Dux has given his Kumite Championship title to Trump.

Targeting disabled and neurodivergent people is a hallmark of fascism. These men know what they are doing and do not care because autistic lives simply do not matter to them.

Hello @democrats.org, I have finished the video you commissioned! Let me know where to send my invoice! xo youtu.be/3i_8NcK_P1c

Haven’t been on here in ages… but today I’m back to share my family’s story about being stuck in the emergency dept at an Alberta hospital for more than 90 hours. The UCP is fiddling while the system burns. @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Up here they’re called Starlight Tours. This is an evil act.

Sorry @bsky.app , BTS getting 400 posts doesn't warrant a HOT label in the Interests sections. Seems like payola to me.

Now I am just an expert in public finance with a soupçon of equity sprinkled in but we have rules 1. Public finance should be counter cyclical 2. Basic principles are your constitutional requirements are inflation plus population growth wherever it comes from 3. People shouldn’t die on your watch

So reflecting on shit’n’stuff lately and watching oil price volatility and especially the differential…maybe just maybe a premier squawking about a pipeline and another about a refinery is just…idk…political squawking. Also this February budgets are not looking so rosey are they…

"Because that means that nothing is going to happen, and nothing is going to improve in the short term.” (Cue govt to come out shortly and pretend like they've been doing province-wide action all along... this just in: they have NOT) 3/3

“If the PR people are saying that there is no crisis, and that these hundreds of health-care workers who are saying we’re in dire straits and we are in desperate need of help, if they are saying we’ve got this wrong, then honestly, God help us."... 2/3

medicinehatnews.com/... This is an excellent piece of reporting that immediately understands what the govt refuses to: doesn't matter what you call it... we are pleading for help and coordinated province-wide tools already exist... we just need an operational leader. 1/3

‘A no is a no’: Coastal First Nations tell Carney they won’t change stance on pipeline, oil tanker ban.

What say you, @coreyhogan.ca?

The Blood Tribe First Nation in Alberta says they also oppose Alberta’s separation referendum, saying that it weakens treaty rights. They also added that their consent matters and their rights are non-negotiable.

New on the blog: https://calgaryphil.com/vividly-vivek In our latest blog post, the acclaimed Alberta-born artist discusses how this one-of-a-kind collaboration with the Calgary Phil came to be and what audiences can expect at Vivek Shraya: One Night Only, 20 January.

This is why I will never give up on fighting for safe drug policies and legal regulation of all substances. Danny. My baby should be 37 today. He lived to be 25. 💔💜 #DrugSky

Political figures won't leave X because the conversation starts and ends with: "We have ### followers, sacrificing our audience is too risky" These people are risk averse, they make decisions based on what feels least risky. They will only leave X when they start fearing blowback and PR headaches

The @ndp.ca (or other parties) could do more than delete X They could push for rules requiring government accounts only operate on platforms that meet higher standards around moderation, security and transparency Lead by example. Governments implicitly endorse these platforms with their presence

To @coreyhogan.ca , Can you confirm to your constituents (some here in Bluesky) that you will cease using the child pornography platform known as X immediately? #yyc #CalgaryConfederation

Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

We may have to deport ALL American citizens from Canada in the coming months.

Evan Solomon, the minister responsible for AI regulation and safety in Canada, declined an interview request.

Trevor sat quiet and long while separatist racists talked racistly. Choices come with consequences.

Alberta Conservatives couldn't have another NDP govt, so they united and will try to break up the country.

We know this in AB. We also know that the separatists are from the defunct Wildrose party and that the various conservative groups consolidated to form the UCP in order to beat the NDP. And now the separatists are running the government because of that quest for power. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

For all people complain about it, Canada Post consistently delivers packages to me within their estimated delivery times and with all the contents present on arrival. Fortunately, the shipper is sending me another sweater. Here's hoping FedEx doesn't mess that one up too.

Canadian government still using X amid platform’s child sex abuse material scandal globalnews.ca/news/1160665...

Marlaina Smith traded Parker for Felon47.

When did the shooter receive judicial power to hand down a death sentence?

This statement was posted exclusively on X, which is also the primary platform Canada's AI Minister posts on @evansolomon.bsky.social has 215,000 followers on X, but only 1,200 on Bluesky. These people just can't let their vanity follower counts go, it's really as simple as that

Remember when James Sowery drove at a cop & hit a pylon at the Coutts blockade, but the cop didn't shoot him multiple times in the face & kill him right then? In fact he got due process & is even legally appealing his dangerous driving conviction? But the convoy called Canada a dictatorship anyway?
